4. After attaching the child restraint, test it
before you place the child in it. Push it
from side to side while holding the seat
near the LATCH attachment path. The
child restraint should not move more
than 1 inch (25 mm), from side to side. Try
to tug it forward and check to see if the
LATCH attachment holds the restraint in
place. If the restraint is not secure,
tighten the LATCH attachment as nec-
essary, or put the restraint in another
seat and test it again. You may need to
try a different child restraint or try install-
ing by using the vehicle seat belt (if ap-
plicable). Not all child restraints fit in all
types of vehicles.
5. Check to make sure that the child re-
straint is properly secured prior to each
use. If the child restraint is loose, repeat
steps 2 through 4.
REAR-FACING CHILD RESTRAINT
INSTALLATION USING THE SEAT
BELTS
WARNING
The three-point seat belt with Auto-
matic Locking Retractor (ALR) must be
used when installing a child restraint.
Failure to use the ALR mode will result
in the child restraint not being properly
secured. The restraint could tip over or
be loose and cause injury to a child in a
sudden stop or collision. Also, it can
change the operation of the front pas-
senger air bag. For additional informa-
tion, see “Front passenger air bag and
status light” (P. 1-56).
For additional information, see all Warnings
and Cautions in “Child safety” (P. 1-19) and
“Child restraints” (P. 1-22) before installing a
child restraint. Do not use the lower an-
chors if the combined weight of the child
and child restraint exceeds 65 lbs. (29.5 kg).
If the combined weight of the child and
child restraint is greater than 65 lbs. (29.5
kg), use the vehicle’s seat belt (not the lower
anchors) to install the child restraint. Be
sure to follow the child restraint manufac-
turer’s instructions for installation.
Follow these steps to install a rear-facing
child restraint using the vehicle seat belt in
the rear seats:
